The Foundations

What is The American View?

Briefly stated: “There is a God, our rights come from him and the purpose of civil government is to protect our God-given rights.” We believe that fidelity to this American View is crucial to the preservation of Liberty.
The Biblical, Christian worldview of our forefathers shaped the documents which established the rule of law for the United States of America.

Institute on the Constitution (IOTC) strives to equip citizens from around the country with confidence, knowledge, and tools to restore the American View of law and government stated in the Declaration of Independence:

There is a God

Our rights come from Him

The purpose of civil government is to secure God-given rights

IOTC would like to congratulate IOTC Student Course Graduate, Laurene Purdy, on being recognized and awarded for her activism. Laurene credits IOTC for giving her the knowledge and confidence needed to volunteer and educate her community:

“I would like to tell everyone at IOTC that at the 2018 Delaware Republican Convention For the second year in a row, I received the Peg Hood top Republican of the the Year award. I didn’t expect this at all!!!! I also came in second in the state GOP Voter Registration and was mention in the closing Prayer!!! Larry Mayo sat at my table and cheered me on!! Again I give credit to IOTC for teaching me so well and giving me so much convidence. You all are the BEST!!!! I truly am so Grateful!!!”

Note: Laurene was recently invited to teach the IOTC Constitution Course at her grandson’s public school after her grandson informed the class of an error in his school’s government quiz stating that America was a Democracy, instead of, rightfully, a Republic! Godspeed, Laurene! And again, Congratulations!

Briefly stated, "The American View" of government is that there is a God, the God of the Bible, our rights come from Him, and the purpose of civil government is to secure our rights. There are many views of government, from equally numerous world views. Americans are blessed that our Founders' Biblical Worldview informed their political philosophy and the framing of our founding documents.
